Replacing "Krieg der Sterne" was a bad idea anyway. It's like trying to erase a part of history. That thing used to be Krieg der Sterne. No more, no less.
You can blame it on Lucas, he wanted that they were called Star Wars everywhere since the 90s. Interesting if they change it back.

When I was young I thought the way that Harrison said, "Princess? What's going on?" sounded like Han was calling Luke princess.
This is somewhat compounded by Mark's facial expression right after the line.
And when I was young I thought it was 3PO talking to R2, LOL.

Han's line about the Kessel run should have been fixed because the use of "parsecs" makes no sense (it's a unit of distance).
It was once subtitled to 40 lightyears here on TV which doesn't make anymore sense, LOL. Those subtitles were classic.
I don't like Veers' speech in Vader's chamber at all because it looks like the actor (not Veers) just shitted in his pants and the speech is too robotic. A little weird for Julian Glover.
The Biggs scene wasn't in Star Wars Begins and Jambe had some pretty good material available. So I'd say it's not been released anywhere.

"I saw security footage of Anakin.......... KILLING YOUNGLINGS!"
I'm sorry but for some reason, Ewan McGregor's delivery of this just seemed flat out awful to me, which is surprising since he's a good actor. He seems to put his hand on his mouth to smother a laugh, like he's thinking "Why am I saying this?" Natalie Portman's reaction is a bit much as well. It seems like something out of a sitcom where you're supposed to laugh since the character's flat out lying.
It's also very bad storytelling (what a surprise), since we first see Anakin starting to kill them, then we se Obi-Wan watching the footage, then telling about him seeing it and later Padmé tells it again to Anakin. The security footage to me was a ridicilous thing anyways, too earthy except they had to do something and make it a hologram, how's that suppose to be better than in 2D?
Those OT scenes sound sweeet.
SEs also gave the best trailers for the trilogy IMHO (if you don't count the new surprises) and a very nice poster set.
I choose to just ignore them completely but you can add me to the hater list.
I also liked the added rope on Han's legs hanging from the skiff in ROTJ, before it was a little unbelievable, LOL.

The two musical transitions to the Imperial fleet in The Empire Strikes Back as John Williams intended was nice to hear restored.
Oh yeah, and the one when Slave I escapes.

LexX said: Wedge & Luke scene was nice.
Sorry if I've missed something but which scene are you referring to?
During the celebration where they shake hands, if I remember correctly.
SW:
Yeah, couple of the space battle scenes were cool...
TESB:
Cloud City ideas were cool, just not very well made. Could've been better.
ROTJ:
Even though the CGI shots are ugly, I prefer the SE music. Wedge & Luke scene was nice.
So they fixed the cores on the saber cross but messed up everything else. Luke's saber is just plain weird, green haze is uneven, the white core is green on the right, the blade is thinner in the center... And of course, Vader's saber is now so pretty.
It seems it also has the original Wedge's save in the beginning.
I remember Portman saying when TPM came out that she hadn't seen any of the films and only watched them when she was cast in TPM.
Star Wars 7/8
The Empire Strikes Back 8/8
Return of the Jedi 6/8
The rest probably 2, 1, 2.
Those PT screenshots are also promotional material which have been used since 1999, 2002 and 2005.
I was going to save this on my drive but saw that I already had it. :P Don't remember where I got it, it's been there since January. Could be a sneak peek photo for Making of SW or something.
Match with what? At least in my thread there are cover for JD's trilogy that match with each other.
So the cover says deleted/extended scenes so maybe they've added those small little clips into bigger scenes so there's a good possibility to have more of them. :)
Documentaries from Making Magic + trailers.
I have to agree with all the points, I never had a problem with it. Only from a storytelling point of view, it is kinda lazy. But it really would be stupid from the Empire to not even try building another one.

I guess the Lucasfilm - logos will be harder to find in better resolution though, the only way I can think of is a very well made capture of a Pan & Scan LD or a scan of an actual print. ;)
Ewoks films on DVD has it but not sure if they're exactly the same.
And let me ask again, LOL:
Could somebody give the measurements for BD box size covers in pixels, with thin spine and with fat spine, thanks!
I have the credits still as text on the covers but I think they all are done line by line, if that's the case then it'd be almost faster to write them than copy them line by line. But I'll have to check.
Okay, won't be adding anymore then, LOL. Yeah, there is a lot of stuff... But some are probably just a few seconds so it'll be interested to see if they've spliced something together, like different pilots into one battle. Would be kinda disappointing if there's a dozen of couple of unused pilot close-ups calculated into that 45 scenes!
I added those to the first post. :) Forgot a lot of them!
